Instantiation

From DocForge

Instantiation is the process of creating an object in memory based on the definition of a class. Where a class defines how an object should look and behave, actual objects are created from the instantiation of that class.

In addition to the default actions of a language, a class can often define a constructor which dictates additional actions to take during a class's instantiation.
